Central Hub A HUB FOR THE NEW ERA OF WORKPLACE
Every manager likes their employees to be confident, and sure of their skill sets.
But should confidence levels impact the approach you take in managing these key individuals?
As a high-demand segment of the workforce, engineering professionals have good reason for their positive outlook. But research completed by Kelly Services® confirms that the global engineering workforce shows signs of disengagement. Engineering employees today frequently think about switching jobs—with nearly seven in 10 intending to look for a new job in the next year.
Engineering employees who know their worth and feel they are in a good bargaining position are likely networking with prospective employers and considering alternative jobs. In fact, research shows that even happily employed workers are watching for new opportunities on a regular basis, and are building their personal brands on professional social media sites.

Engineering: The impact and benefits of work-life design
Work-life design is not just a trend – it’s a movement.
